Eidos' First Xbox Live Arcade Title 'GEON: emotions' Announced - Screens

by Rainier on July 19, 2007 @ 2:55 a.m. PDT

GEON: emotions is a psychedelic, pick-up-and-play game of rapidly changing tactics. Playing as one of eight emotions – Rage, Passion, Fear, Envy, Rapture, Courage, Bliss or Melancholy – players must race to collect pellets and score goals, using power-ups and their ‘emotional’ strengths and weaknesses.

The single player game mode will let players perfect their skills in a head to head duel or face the challenge of a ‘time attack’ and win medals to unlock the eight mini games. The multiplayer game mode enables players to battle friends in a split screen game or tackle players on Xbox Live to a duel or team game for 4 players.

“GEON: emotions is our first title for Xbox Live Arcade and we’re really proud of it,” said Simon Protheroe, New Media and IT Director at Eidos. “It’s the perfect mix of fun, action and head-to-head competition which works so well on Live Arcade.”

Contenders will need passion to overcome their fear in order to rage towards the bliss of victory. Do you have the courage to look melancholy in the eye, give a rapturous performance and become the envy of all as the Master of Geon?

Love it? Hate It? Does it make you angry? Does it calm you down? Feel the energy of powerful emotions as you compete amongst your opponents to master the unique sport of Geon.

What’s your strategy going to be? Will you choose to spread fear among the other players, or unleash a wave of bliss with the aim of subverting their cause? Play to your emotional strengths; Allow your dark side to dominate, or win through speed, courage and style. You can be the master of Geon, but you must learn to use your emotion to your advantage.

In the world of Geon energy is king, small pellets called ‘E-motes’ hover above each side of the grid surface. Each player races to collect their E-motes and the first to score 5 goals is the winner. It sounds easy, but the skillful use of Powerballs is the real recipe for success!

Geon is a game that will appear on your Xbox Live Arcade this summer. It’s going to be emotional…
